A complex, realistic, and loving mother-daughter relationship is at the heart of this story about Black pageants and the fight for a better future.

“I’m always interested in exploring female fantasy, and the sexy witch is a loaded archetype that is simultaneously about men’s fears and fantasies about women, and women’s feelings of empowerment and agency.

Films about casinos have long been a favorite of Hollywood. This is unsurprising, as they're often tied to magnetic characters whose lives revolve around luxury, spectacle, and even danger.

The Invitation takes a creeping look at two simple premises: reuniting with forgotten friends and new-age spiritualism.

A masterful portrayal of a long-forgotten story that needs to be told.
